The Summer School is unique in offering organised, structured chamber music opportunities and coaching, as well as superb learning experiences through the festival of concerts given by the tutors themselves (as resident artists all of them are leading performers as well as inspirational teachers). Based on the ethos of ' learning through listening, practice & performance', courses are run for string quartet, flute, clarinet, saxophone, composition, voice, solo strings, Wind Octet, Choir, Harp and piano. Throughout the week the artists in residence can be found coaching ensembles, leading workshops, giving master classes and performing in the Festival concerts. Students also have the opportunity to perform in public and enjoy free entry to all festival events. For one week everyone lives, breathes and dreams music.
The daily evening and lunchtime festival concerts, together with student foyer performances and impressive student showcase concerts at the end of the week are powerful reminders of the rejuvenating effect of listening to live music of such a high calibre.
Courses are available in: Voice, Music Theatre Voice, Viola, Cello, Violin, Bassoon, Clarinet, Flute, Conducting, Composition, Ensemble, Big Band and Practical Psychology.
